>>12670>Where did the workers uprisings happen?
They did happen, but were more likely in the form of peaceful protests or walk-outs. Once Unions, workers' laws, etc. were put into place, they were appeased.

To further discussion, people are needy creatures, and will do what is necessary to survive, but will take whatever slack they get, and then ask for more. What will probably occur afterwards is a big hissy fit, like what we see know with America's election results, and this is easy ground for communists to take hold of. Most communists now-a-days are no more than wishful dreamers fighting for something higher, not willing to make sacrifices: most communists today are quite satisfied with what they have now, and continuously talk about how people are oppressed on Reddit more than taking action. Look at communists several decades ago compared to now. Most are so appeased with the current system that they can only whimper on how "muh perfect form of communism" would solve all problems, similar to most libertarians if I might add.

Fucking commie trolls. Capitalism is the best, government sucks balls. the artificial power construct of the government is way too vulnerable to exploitation and incompetence, poisoning the field with bullshit regulations and subsidies often primarily for the benefit of their rich asshole buddies, whereas in pure capitalism the only way to get anything is to offer a better deal than the competition. You start abusing your customer base without government enforced monopolies and you'll find yourself learning a little something about capitalistic competition

>>12736>They did happen, but were more likely in the form of peaceful protests or walk-outs.
The fuck they were. It was common for companies to have union organizers and union members killed, maimed, or hospitalized. The government would lend them a hand (police, national guard, even straight up military intervention) whenever the number of union members grew too large for their private goon forces to put down.

I'm being moved by my work for six months to an area that has no gym or exercise equipment. My luggage is limited, but I have a bar thing that I can hook into a doorframe for pull/chin ups that I'm taking with.

Is there a decent calisthenics program that I can follow that will help me continue building strength/muscle?

That depends on where you're at now. If you want to continue to increase your strength/hypertrophy, you're going to need to continue progressive overload. All bodyweight exercises involve lifting a percent of your bodyweight. If that's higher than the weight you can currently lift, then bodyweight will continue building strength and muscle. If not, it won't.

For an example, pullups done right involve 100% of your bodyweight. Imagine doing a lat pulldown at the gym with the weight equal to your bodyweight. (No, they're not exactly the same exercise, but they should be close enough for an estimate.) Can you do 3x8-12 of them? If yes, now try it with one arm. Can you still do it? If that's too heavy, then you can continue your gainz with a pullup bar by working to one arm pullups. If you're strong enough that it's no sweat, you'll have to find something heavier to continue to see growth.

You can always strap something heavy to yourself to increase the weight, of course. How doable that is will depend on the details of your situation. If you can already do a one-arm lat pulldown with weight equal to your bodyweight + a backpack filled with rocks, then you're pretty damn strong.

To actually answer your question, I'm a fan of Convict Conditioning, although I'd add inverted rows to the program. I also like all of Al Kavadlo's work, but most programs will be fine as long as you keep in mind progressive overload.

The basic idea is to try to find a decent balance of exercises and increase the weight you're pushing/pulling by moving to harder variations and, where appropriate, moving from two-handed/legged exercises to one-handed/legged exercises.

There are basically two things to avoid if you're working for strength:

One is endurance focused programs. It doesn't matter how many pushups you can do in a row, your strength won't increase after about 3x20, maybe even before that. You have to move to a harder variation. More specifically, you have to move to a variation that involves pushing a higher percentage of your bodyweight or concentrating that bodyweight on a smaller number of muscles (I.e., working to one-arm pushups with elevated feet).

The other is programs that focus too much on gymnastic skills. Reddit's recommended routine is fine, for example, but its focus involves more gymnastic skills than the ones I mentioned. Those skills are super cool and benefit your over-all athleticism and ability to avoid injury, but anything that isn't going to increase the amount of weight you're moving isn't going to help increase strength or hypertrophy. /r/bodyweight's sacred text, Overcoming Gravity, is a great resource, but there's a reason it puts "gymnastics" before "strength," in the subtitle, and it's the same reason the author, Steven Low, looks the way he does despite being able to perform some impressive feats of gymnastic skill and athleticism.

As an example, ring dips are harder than parallel bar dips for most people, but the added difficulty comes from stabilization and coordination, not from pushing more weight. Also, silly things like one-finger pushups are pretty much just gimmicks.

You can try to master both the gymnastic skills and the strength work, but most people end up choosing which is more important to them and neglecting the other--some gymnastic skills are pretty much impossible if you're too swole.

>>20879One last thing about Convict Conditioning: There are more incremental progressions than anyone actually needs. Start with the hardest one you can do safely and feel free to skip some of the progressions that are just minor variations. Also, the progression standards are way too many reps. 3x8-12 is fine.

Basically, this is all just stuff you already know if you've been lifting. It's just that there are a surprisingly large number of lifters who think that muscles suddenly work differently when they're lifting your own body.

Consider for a moment the truth that, at their core, at their very foundation, every single mainstream religion, and every pseudo-religious cult, is essentially a man-made creation in some way or other, created by one person, or by a smaller group of people, with the basic intent of gaining power and control over a much larger group of other people in order to make them think, and believe, and act, precisely in the way(s) the creator(s) of their chosen religion want them to.

And then consider that within most/all of those mainstream religions there are sizeable sub-groups of people (e.g. christianity>catholics/protestants/etc. etc. or muslims>sunni/shi'a/etc. etc.) , who effectively all read the exact same holy book, or a different persons/groups own personal interpretation of that same book, as those in the other sub-groups of their chosen religion, and who then have wildly divergent interpretations of what their chosen book actually means; such differences that have, and will continue to, be the primary, and in most cases only, consistant cause of war, violence, suffering, genocide, abuse, etc. etc. etc. throughout the world.

Taking christianity as an example, there are many 'versions' of the bible, each taken as gospel by a different branch of that one religion, except surely if all those sub-groups all essentially believe in the same god, and they all believe that he handed down his instructions/wishes/guidance/whatever for every person to live by in good faith, why did he then apparently give each group a slightly differently worded version of his teachings?

The simple answer is that 'god' didn't do anything.

This is entirely because, while there undoubtedly are/were actual people in the past who have been, and still are, worshipped as 'god', and/or who themselves actually claimed to be 'god' or to personally represent 'god', maybe even to the point that people actually believe/believed in them, in essence the term 'god' is little more than another fictional construct of man, it's a tool of man, of mainstream religions and pseudo-religious cults alike, in whatever form they might take. In effect 'god' is nothing more than a simple whip to be used by one, or by the privileged few, to keep a larger group of people toeing the religious party line at all costs, and preferably without examining and/or questioning the things they are being asked to believe in.

Equally the so-called holy book(s) of each cult and religion, in all their many man-made variations and interpretations, are all just yet another man-made creation, wherein a religions/cults chosen holy book is the leash that one man/a small privileged group of people uses to capture and control the obedience and belief of others around him/them, particularly others who are more susceptible and/or willing to be taken in by something that

It helps... though I can't really put it into words, it goes something along the lines of how many values/rules you got 'right' - imagine guessing at all life's choices, you are bound to get some right according to a decision model you have. God gives feedback on these values, that's how I've felt it, but like me, you can still just crash on a huge wall and be unable to move on. Things have very slowly gotten less worse, who knows? when I pray, it makes me feel somewhat at peace.

I have done the same as >>5927, but wow, things can get really really much worse, like to the point where you stop caring about getting up, sleeping, eating, even thinking, you just somehow wait for it all to end - and it doesnt.

I sure don't know how and why things work, for the most part I wish they didnt, but usually its the simplest that make most sense: this one goes to you >>5842 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

Merry Primemas and 🎄 Seasons Greetings 🎄 7chan! Its the full moon! This months moon is called the full cold moon and you should have a long night to see it because yesterday was the shortest day of the year! Its too bad they didnt both coincide this year... The last time was in 2010, but we are all going to have to wait patiently until 2094 until the winter solstice falls on a full moon again. That brings me to another super facinating and mystical name the native americans called this full moon, "The long nights moon". Soooo original. (˵¯̴͒ꇴ¯̴͒˵)

Is anyone else feeling like its a mixed up Primemas time? Primemas falling on a Tuesday is kinda a bummer and the weather was unseasonably warm yesterday, like... skirts and shorts warm. Glad the chilly weather is on its way back! ( ᷇ॢ〰ॢ ᷆◍) I am officially in vacation mode and wishing for lotsa yummy steak! If your a Costco member, you can order an A-5 rated Wagyu Ribeye roast from Japan and other yummy cuts as well! Maybe aim for Easter?

I wish all of 7chan including Conductor Cat, Miku, Admin, Mods and all the Anons a great holiday season and happy new year! A total lunar eclipse is waiting for all of us in North and South America on the 19th of January so cya then and dont forget to take it easy~!

>>787062I had a nice, quiet evening. My bosses closed the shop two hours early so I had a few drinks with them before coming home to finally harvest and roast the seeds from the pumpkin I got for fall decoration, then I played GTA: San Andreas until 2:30 in the morning. I smoked weed the whole night instead of drinking so I'm feeling pretty good today!

>>787095Had 14 whiskey sours in a bar in Atlanta. Fight got started. Police were called. Buddy pulled me out of there and I was rambling something about John F Kennedy being a shit president. How the airwolf would I even know? I was born in 1983. Never again.

I don't think it's possible for everyone.
You need a huge amount of willpower, patience, and energy for it, not to mention long enough fingers.
It's much easier to use a dildo (or someone else).
Besides, not all people have sensitive prostates. For example, me. I can feel that there is a small difference, but the amount of pleasure I get from it is quite small, and the only visible effect is precum (which I don't normally get, so that's a bonus).
Considering there are people out there who can orgasm from simply getting their nipples tweaked (and people like me who are not sensitive in organ other than their penises), I guess the prostate business depends on the individual as well.

A firm medium of long dildo will give you the best results. For first tries, I suggest doing it in a shower or tub, where you can move an not worry about any possible mess. At a standing position, gently insert the dildo (with plenty of lube of course) straight forward, not up. The internal wall is only an inch or two in, so you don't have to go very far. Gently search around and you should hit it. You'll know because firm pressure will cause a sensation anywhere from a pleasant heat to electric shocks in your penis. Longer dildos are good for this, not because you're going to be inserting deep, but it gives you a better hand hold for hitting the spot.
